Natural Selection 4 principles: Heritability Variation Reproductive Advantage Overproduction Types: Stabilizing Directional Disruptive
Evidence of Evolution Anatomy DNA Embryology Fossils
Homologous: same structure/varied function Homologous: same structure/varied function, come from a common ancestor (mammals, reptiles, fish, etc)
Analogous: similar function/different structure Analogous: similar function/different structure; different common ancestor
Vestigial: reduced form of a structure; leftover structures, not used anymore. Vestigial: reduced form of a structure; leftover structures, not used anymore. Why would a whale have a femur?
: Gradualism (left--ex: alligators, Punctuated Equilibrium (right--ex: squirrels, antibiotic resistant bacteria) Rate of evolution: Gradualism (left--ex: alligators, sharks) vs Punctuated Equilibrium (right--ex: squirrels, antibiotic resistant bacteria) caused by any/all 5 mechanisms of evolution
Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created Two types of speciation: allopatric sympatric. Rate of evolution: Gradualism (left--ex: alligators, sharks) Punctuated Equilibrium Allopatric (left--PHYSICAL barrier) vs Sympatric (right--NO PHYSICAL barrier; due to errors in numbers of chromosomes [plants], for animals, habitat impact their speciation) speciation development of many similar species in a single habitat, each with a different specialization.
Left and right? B. when a species divides into separate groups which are isolated physically from one another, and a new species develops. A. development of many similar species in a single habitat, each with a different specialization. Allopatric (left--PHYSICAL barrier) vs Sympatric (right--NO PHYSICAL barrier; due to errors in numbers of chromosomes [plants], for animals, habitat impact their speciation) speciation

Ex: sexual selection (ex: behavioral isolation, sexual dimorphism--females look way different than males) PREZYGOTIC BARRIOR Not necessarily dictated by genetics, but by behavior https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYcs73oeFkc
